This is the diesel-electric NS DE4 (and SBB RAm TEE) developed by SBB and NS for the Trans Europ Express and put in service in 1957. Five of these 4-part trains were built, each consisting of a power car, passenger car, dining car and control car.
The trainsets were discontinued in 1973 and sold to Ontario Northland Railway in 1977. After trouble adjusting to the Canadian weather they were removed in 1992. They found themselves back in Europe by 1998 and eventually in the possession of the TEE Netherlands Foundation.
The carriages are now in the ownership of Nederlands Transport Museum where they are on display.
More pictures, details about the restoration project and how you can help can be found on their website.
